Chapter 279: Foodie Xiao Hong, Black Dragon Demonic Snake

"Hmm?"

Zhou Chen paused for a moment, sending his Divine Sense into the spirit beast pouch.

He saw that Xiao Hong, who had been slumbering for a long time, had finally awakened.

Moreover, Xiao Hong's Aura was more than twice as strong as before!

"Master, Master! Let me do it!"

Xiao Hong's excited voice rang out in Zhou Chen's mind.

Zhou Chen could feel that Xiao Hong was filled with a deep craving for the flesh and blood of that Three-Eyed Hellhound.

"Are you sure?"

Zhou Chen was somewhat worried.

Although Xiao Hong had evolved into a Nine Nether Netherworld Tiger, her cultivation was only at the First Layer of Emperor Realm.

Meanwhile, the Three-Eyed Hellhound was at the Emperor Realm Second Layer.

"Don't worry, Master, I feel like this guy looks delicious!"

Xiao Hong said confidently.

"Fine, then I'll leave it to you."

Zhou Chen nodded and released Xiao Hong.

A streak of red and black light flew out from the spirit beast pouch, instantly transforming into a massive Nine Nether Netherworld Tiger.

Xiao Hong was now a full fifteen meters tall. Her entire body was deep black with python-like stripes intermingled, and a white 'King' character pattern sat on her forehead. Her tail lashed through the air, emitting a terrifying Aura.

"Roar—"

Xiao Hong let out a long roar toward the sky, her voice filled with dominance and pressure.

The Three-Eyed Hellhound had originally been aggressive, but upon seeing Xiao Hong, it suddenly froze.

It could feel that as soon as this Nine Nether Netherworld Tiger appeared, the flow of demonic power within its body became noticeably sluggish.

"Roar roar roar?!"

The Three-Eyed Hellhound retreated several steps in terror.

The Nine Nether Netherworld Tiger possessed the Bloodline of an ancient nether beast, naturally countering all demonic creatures.

Although the Nine Nether Netherworld Tiger before it had a lower cultivation level, the Bloodline suppression was too strong; the Three-Eyed Hellhound felt as if the blood in its entire body was about to freeze.

"Don't you run?!"

Xiao Hong roared in a childish voice. Her figure flashed, and she instantly appeared in front of the Three-Eyed Hellhound.

"Nine Nether Netherworld Claw!"

Swish swish!

The Nine Nether Netherworld Tiger struck out with a claw, and a phantom image instantly reached the Hellhound. The Void Realm seemed as if it were about to be torn apart.

In a panic, the Three-Eyed Hellhound's three vertical pupils erupted with intense ghostly light, like three death rays shooting toward the Nine Nether Netherworld Tiger.

However, its attack was simply not worth mentioning before Xiao Hong.

Bang!

A loud explosion occurred, and the Three-Eyed Hellhound, along with the three ghostly lights, was sent flying by a single claw strike, smashing heavily onto the ground.

"Im… Impossible…"

It struggled to get back up, but Xiao Hong had already pounced.

"Nine Nether Devour!"

Xiao Hong opened her massive maw and directly bit into the Three-Eyed Hellhound's neck.

A terrifying devouring force erupted, and the Three-Eyed Hellhound's flesh and energy drained away frantically.

"Ah—"

It let out a shrill scream but simply could not break free.

In just a brief moment, the Three-Eyed Hellhound was sucked into a dry corpse.

After Xiao Hong devoured its flesh and energy, the Aura on her body surged once again.

"Master! I want to eat more!"

Xiao Hong pounced toward Zhou Chen excitedly, rubbing her massive head against him.

"Good, good, good. Not bad, not bad at all."

Zhou Chen smiled and patted her head, feeling extremely satisfied.

Xiao Hong truly lived up to being a Nine Nether Netherworld Tiger; this combat power was simply off the charts.

Combined with her talent for breaking restrictions, she would be a great help to Zhou Chen.

At that moment, more roars suddenly came from deep within the black mist.

The Auras of those voices were each more terrifying than the last.

Zhou Chen understood; he spread his Divine Thought over the surroundings to observe the situation at any time.

The commotion from the battle just now was too great; it seemed to have drawn in the Demonic Beasts of this Forbidden Land.

"Master! I want to eat more!"

Xiao Hong pounced toward Zhou Chen excitedly, her massive head rubbing against him, her saliva almost dripping onto Zhou Chen's face.

"Alright, alright, slow down!"

Zhou Chen pushed away Xiao Hong's large, wet face with mock disgust, but he was secretly delighted.

The talent of a Nine Nether Netherworld Tiger was indeed exaggerated; an Emperor Realm Second Layer Three-Eyed Hellhound was no different from a free meal in front of Xiao Hong.

"Roar—"

"Awoo—"

"Hiss—"

The Auras of the owners of those voices were each more terrifying than the last.

Zhou Chen's expression changed.

Damn, the battle noise just now was too loud, it's drawn in all the Demonic Beasts of this Forbidden Land!

"Master, there are so many delicious things coming!"

Xiao Hong's eyes sparkled, and her saliva flowed even more freely.

Black lines appeared on Zhou Chen's forehead.

"You foodie! Now is not the time to eat, quickly…"

Before he could finish his sentence, a demonic ape covered in crimson scales charged out from the black mist.

That demonic ape was a full twenty-four meters tall, with knotted muscles and blood-red eyes, emitting the Aura of the Emperor Realm Second Layer Peak.

"Roar!"

It threw a punch, causing ripples to form in the Void Realm.

"Xiao Hong, take it!"

Without a second word, Zhou Chen pushed Xiao Hong forward.

Since this creature wanted to eat, he'd let her eat her fill!

"Great!"

Xiao Hong charged forward excitedly, Nine Nether Netherworld Fire erupting from her mouth, instantly enveloping the Crimson Demonic Ape.

The demonic ape let out a miserable scream, struggling frantically within the flames, but the Bloodline suppression meant it couldn't exert its full strength at all.

A moment later, another dried corpse collapsed to the ground.

"Delicious!"

Xiao Hong licked her lips contentedly.

But before Zhou Chen could breathe a sigh of relief, three more Demonic Beasts charged out from different directions.

A Three-Eyed Demonic Wolf, at the First Layer of Emperor Realm.

A Demonic Abyss Black Snake, at the Emperor Realm Second Layer.

And a Demonic Pig covered in barbs, at the Emperor Realm Third Layer!

"Master, I want them all!"

Xiao Hong's eyes shone as she charged straight at them.

Zhou Chen's mouth twitched.

This creature was truly starving crazy.

But it had to be said, the Nine Nether Netherworld Tiger's combat power was indeed off the charts.

Under the Bloodline suppression, these Demonic Beasts were simply no match for Xiao Hong; one by one, they were swallowed alive, leaving not even a bone behind.

While Xiao Hong ate happily, Zhou Chen stayed by her side picking up the ancient desolate spirit pearls, living quite a comfortable life.

But the good times didn't last long.

Just as Xiao Hong took down the seventh Demonic Beast, an even more terrifying Aura erupted from deep within the black mist.

The owner of that Aura was actually at the Fourth Layer of Emperor Realm!

"Hiss—"

A black giant python, a full three hundred meters long, slithered out from the black mist. Its entire body was covered in pitch-black scales, and two dragon horns grew from its head, emitting a world-destroying pressure.

Black Demonic Dragon Snake!

This was a hybrid descendant of an ancient demonic dragon and a demonic snake, with combat power far exceeding Cultivators of the same rank.

"Ma… Master!"

When Xiao Hong saw the Black Demonic Dragon Snake, her previously excited expression instantly froze, and her voice began to tremble.

She could feel that this snake's strength far exceeded the range of what she could handle.

"Step back," Zhou Chen said calmly, stepping forward.

Seeing Zhou Chen approach, the Black Demonic Dragon Snake became even more excited. Not only was there a Nine Nether Netherworld Tiger, but also a human Cultivator; today would be a double feast.

It opened its massive maw and spat out a stream of pitch-black demonic flame.

Wherever the demonic flame passed, space was burned into a series of cracks.

"Azure Lotus Cleaving the Heavens."

Zhou Chen's expression was calm as he raised his hand and delivered a sword strike.

A brilliant azure sword light tore through the black mist, splitting the demonic flame in two and continuing unabated toward the Black Demonic Dragon Snake.

"Hiss—!"

The Black Demonic Dragon Snake's pupils shrank abruptly as it instinctively sensed a fatal threat. It twisted its body frantically to dodge, but that sword light seemed to have locked onto it; no matter how it dodged, it couldn't escape.

Puchi!

The sword light pierced through the Black Demonic Dragon Snake's vital seven-inch spot.

The massive snake's body stiffened in mid-air, its life force rapidly dissipating.
